lirik lagu leslie fish - threes, rev 1.1
[verse 1]
deep in engineering, down where mortals seldom go
a manager and customer come looking for a show
they pass amused among us as they sign up on the log
they’ve come to see our pony and they’ve come to see our dog
three things to be wary of:
a new kid in his prime
a man with all the answers
and a code that runs first time
[verse 2]
summoned from our cubicles, to conference room we go
we bring our dog and pony, cause we know they want a show
watching as we enter with a shifty, restless eye
the customеr sits waiting in his pinstriped suit and tie
three things nevеr trust in:
that’s the vendor’s final bill
the promises your boss makes
and the customer’s good will
[verse 3]
the pony kicks his heels up as the doggie does his trick
and hands are waved with vigor as we lay it on real thick
the customer just watches, as we do this song and dance
then reaches for his briefcase, only giving us a glance
three things see no end:
a loop with exit code gone wrong
a semaphore untested
and the change that comes along
[verse 4]
from briefcase then there comes a list of things we must revise
and all but four within the room were taken by surprise
and all but four are thinking of their last job with remorse
the customer, the manager, the doggie, and the horse
three things hold no secret:
files that somehow hit the net
your boss’s secretary
and the third thing… i forget
[verse 5]
first: twenty~one new features that we somehow we must add in
then thirty~seven changes show up, much to our chagrin
and this thing’s just inadequate! and that one’s just plain wrong
and by the way, your schedule is about three months too long
three things it is better far that
only you should know:
how much you’re paid, the schedule~pad
and what is just for show
[verse 6]
the customer proceeds to go through each change line~by~line
excruciating detail which no logic can divine
and when it ends there’s only four not sitting there agog
the customer, the manager, the pony and the dog
three things never anger:
first the one who runs your deck
the one who does the back~up
and the one who signs the check
[verse 7]
now we are contract software types, who spend our days and nights
embedded in the system down with all the bits and bytes
and none but us can tell full well the damage done today
it’s what they do not know, for which they’re gonna have to pay
three things are most perilous:
connectors that corrode
unproven algorithms
and self~modifying code
[verse 8]
the manager and customer are quick to leave this bunch
they take the dog and pony and they all go out to lunch
now how will we revenge ourselves on those who raise our ire?
write code that self destructs the day the warranty’s expired!
three things trust above all else:
your knowledge of your craft
that someone makes a profit
and that you will get the shaft
